Make the library work with OS X apps to for a seamless integration across all devices and platforms. Especially add the ability to display the Open File / Save File views.

Will you support osx?

I am looking into it. However Cocoa Document-Based apps seem to have everything already setup. OS X (the system itself) handles most of the document labor (in a document-based app) that is needed manually on iOS. Are you looking to add this to a non-document-based app?

Hi. I'm new to icloud integration. So, i don't know the difference between ios and osx. I'm developing non document based cocoa app.

Thank you for your reply. If you know good tutorial on how to use icloud in cocoa, i will appreciate your help.

Sure! There are lots of differences between iCloud on OS X and iOS. For starters, on iOS you'll use UIDocument, whereas on OS X you'll use NSDocument. Additionally, OS X has GUI components that your app can use to interact with iCloud documents. This is unlike iOS, where you need to create all of your document viewers, lists, etc.

I have been searching for information on iCloud Document Storage for Cocoa (Mac OS X), unfortunately there's almost no documentation on it. Even Apple has skimpy documentation for it. Your best bet is to use the developer documentation on the dev website: https://developer.apple.com/icloud/documentation/
